A. Collegium teachers are held accountable for student performance and are evaluated as follows: • Teachers undergo formal and informal evaluations by Collegium administrators. • Collegium parents complete surveys to assess the school. Results are used to determine areas of strength, areas needing improvement, and scores are incorporated into the teachers’ annual bonuses*. • Teachers are assessed on improving student performance as measured by annual standardized tests. • Teachers are required to continue their education through graduate level course work, conferences, and continuing education programs. *CCS teachers are eligible to participate in an incentive bonus plan that rewards excellence in education. CCS teachers’ annual salary increase is merit-based; there is no teacher pay-scale as is found in traditional public schools.
